Hello Laura,

I have read in which situation you hurt your back so badly. You saved the life of someone.
That was very honorable. Did you get a pension for your selfless act ?

When did you hurt your back ? Is it a year ago or longer ?
I am sorry to hear that you have so much pain. Have you heard the opinion of several doctors that you could`t be operated on your back ?

I worked as a care team manager in a nursing home I went into a residents room to take her medication to her and she was in responsive in her chair there was no staff members around they was with other residents and I did not have the time to wait to find someone so I had to lift her onto the floor and do cpr till the paramedics arrived as soon as I lifted her I felt my back go but did not realise at the time how bad I had damaged my bak

Just had a phone call. They x rayed Joe and he has a massive tumour. The prognosis is very poor. We have made the decision to put Joe to sleep. RIP Joe.

We are devastated as you can imagine.

Oh my Go! Poor Joe and poor you!
I am so sorry and upset to hear this, but that is nothing compared to what you must be feeling.
He has had a great life with all your wonderful care, and this a huge loss for all your family, my thoughts are with you, Linda.
RIP Joe

Your mommy did the right thing ! Pets can help a lot when people are down. I can understand very well that you wouldn`t change your tort or your cat. They need you and you need them !

O.k..... that is very sad.
Would you accept a big electronic hug from me ? Sorry that I can do nothing else.
As I already said: I am sorry that you must suffer so much pain and there is no hope that it is getting better some day.
You are a brave woman.

Well roomies it night time for me so I will speak to everyone tomorrow take care all sleep well

Good morning John.

Sadly it isn't a dream, but someone has made me laugh suggesting he's up in heaven ramming lawnmowers to his heart's content!

I shall be sticking around awhile. For the time being, I feel like helping others on TFO will be a comfort.

Hopefully we will all be able to pick ourselves up and return to CDR punning lunacy soon.

You have permission to be cheerful everyone.

Linda I truly do hope that you stay on the forum.
Your experience and the help and advice you give is invaluable.

As for Joes things - I know Joe is irreplaceable and it's early days for your grief but maybe when you feel a bit better, do you think you consider giving a home to a rescue tort in need of the TLC you obviously have an abundance of?
Understandable if it's not what you want though.

Hi and Bye Laura!

 

[JoesMum]

Time for bed now. I have a very early start to travel to the city of Bristol tomorrow.

Son needs accommodation for his final year at university which starts in September. He's lined up some viewings for tomorrow.

Daughter is coming too as she doesn't have a shift, needs cheering up like the rest of us and it only cost £9 more for 3 of us to by train than it did for two. (Three qualifies for a group discount apparently)

Night Laura, that really is a tragedy that has happened to you, I am glad you have your pets and your Mum to help you cope. It somehow doesn't seem right that you are left to suffer so much pain, there should be a way to manage it better. Take care, sleep well..
